Someone mentioned to me that facial recognition technology is getting "better" and doesn't that make a difference in its use?

We don't need a better puppy grinder, we need to remove the idea that grinding up puppies is a worthy pursuit. #FRT #facialRecognition #surveillance

Elizabeth Joh compared the deployment of facial recognition technology to public experimentation because they’re being put in use before their efficacy has been proven. For darker skinned people it dramatically increases the risk of wrongful arrest.
